Bracewell-Milnes T, Saso S, Abdalla H, et al., 2017, A systematic review investigating psychosocial aspects of egg sharing in the United Kingdom and their potential effects on egg donation numbers., Hum Fertil (Camb), Pages: 1-11
This review aims to provide an up-to-date knowledge of the psychosocial aspects of egg donation from the perspectives of the egg share donor and their recipient. It explores the motives, experiences and attitudes of egg sharers and their views towards donor anonymity and disclosure. Conclusions are made on how these findings can guide clinical practice and improve egg sharing numbers. A systematic search of peer-reviewed journals of four computerized databases was undertaken. Eleven studies were included in the review. Psychosocial aspects towards donation were positive from the egg share donor and recipient. Concerns raised were whether participating in the egg sharing scheme would impact on their success rates, as well as frustration expressed by a minority regarding the lack of knowledge of egg sharing outside of fertility clinics. The 2005 legislative changes in the UK have not caused the anticipated dramatic decrease in egg donation; however, oocyte donation still falls short of demand. Egg sharing provides a practical option for more patients to access IVF, whilst also providing more donor oocytes. Improved information provision will result in greater awareness of egg sharing, with the potential to recruit more donors and meet the needs of recipients currently on long waiting lists.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the use of intraoperative ultrasound-guided ovarian wedge resection in the treatment of recurrent serous borderline ovarian tumors (sBOTs) that are too small to be visualized laparoscopically. METHODS: This was a prospective analysis of all women with recurrent sBOTs that were not visible laparoscopically, who underwent intraoperative ultrasound-guided ovarian wedge resection between January 2015 and December 2016 at the West London Gynaecological Cancer Centre, Imperial College NHS Trust, London, United Kingdom. RESULTS: We evaluated 7 patients, with a median age of 35 years (range, 28-39 years). Six women were nulliparous, whereas 1 woman had a single child. Previous surgical intervention left 5 women with a single ovary, whereas the remaining 2 had previous ovarian-sparing surgery. The median size of recurrence was 18 mm (range, 12-37 mm). All women underwent uncomplicated intraoperative guided ovarian wedge resections. Histological assessment confirmed sBOT in all 7 cases. Six of the women remain disease-free. One woman recurred postoperatively with her third recurrence, who previously had bilateral disease and noninvasive implants with microinvasive disease and micropapillary pattern. No cases progressed to invasive disease. The median follow-up time was 12 months (range, 1-20 months). One pregnancy has been achieved postoperatively but resulted in miscarriage. CONCLUSIONS: Continuous intraoperative ultrasound can be used to facilitate complete tumor excision in recurrent sBOT while minimizing the removal of ovarian tissue in women with recurrent sBOT. It is essential that surgical techniques evolve simultaneously with diagnostic imaging modalities to enable surgeons to treat such pathology.

Grief and hope are two conflicting emotions that a patient recently diagnosed with cancer has to master. The real challenge for gynecologic oncologists is how to reach out. Conventional wisdom states that offering patients focus and belief when combating cancer in their lives allows them to embrace hope with greater confidence, which minimizes their grief. Three pictorial models are presented: '4-cusp approach' model used at the initial consultation; 'tapestry of bereavement or landscape of grief' model at the postsurgery consultation; and 'Venn-diagram' model at any time during patient management. We have applied these models in our practice and believe that they can act as a fulcrum for the patient, the family and healthcare team around which therapy should be centered.
